Mr. Legg was irritated by the repeated outrages ()Urea to his friend - , and could not 'refrain front tn•irk in!: his indigna•iim of the conduct of the principal iftoters. To slivw his contempt for then', he ad vanced alone to the rail in front of the hustings, and braved their rage for nearly a quarter of an how% A chilling sweeper's cap or bag was thrown in his face, which was covered with soot. lint he coolly took it in his hand to wipe from his dress the o!mur othmive matter, with which the foul mouthed rabble had covered him. lie at• lass returned to tie hustings, covered isith dirt and spittle.—The numbers, when declared, were as fellows Sir Samuellly Sir Nliirriy Sir Francis titirilvtt ....2171 I Mr. limit . . •58 . . Sir NI. MaXwELL then'addressed the crowd.— The state of the poll, as it she►ved their favourite Candidate to be abot e him, must afford them great 6:ttista:tion, and lie doubted not they wool(' now lend an ear to the poor Candidate who stood third on the poll. The popular tide would now probably torn in his favour, and many who had hitherto Ii en Opposed to him would probably go with it. Even those who were now firing a fete• distant shin, would probably take another course shortly. At all events, while he thus stood forwat d to soli cit their favour, he was sloe that a man could not be better recommended to Englishmen than by its being shewu that he was able to stand both fire and water. lie had been exposed to both in every part of the world, and he dared to say they leo u ld easily conceive that to him it would be more agreeable to stand 'sl►ere 32-pounders were 11\ ini, " , "1 blood mining in every direction, tl►an to find i►imself as he ►vas at that moment, in the wa y o f s h owers of mad and oceans of spittle.— The friends of the other candidates might now be seen pressing forward in greater numbers on the hustings, but they might do so with safety, for they were not exposed to such treatment as he bad experienced. 'fbey had been deceived with respect to him, as they had with respect to the Motives of t► Noble individual (Lord Castle leaeli), who had come forward to vote for him on a forn►er day. That distinguished person, though decorated with their favourite cot o ur•— thouglh he wore a blue ribbon which he had earned in the service of his country, they had treated as they did him. lie now begged to sty, that that individual had come forward wholly onsolicited by him, and he believed had been only led to do so by the impulse of a noble and energetic mind, tvl►ic:lt prompted him to vote for the Candidate that bad heti) iusul•c'd as he had been. Ile denied that be was a Court Candidate. Ile had never• ex changed a word with the Noble Lord who had come forward to vote for him, in his life, before the election. He had even seen him but a very few times. He had first seen him from the gallery of the 1-louse of Commons, when the ►whole of th e 'Members rose and gave him three cheers on hiS entrance. This was at the time when he brought over • from France the Treaty of Peace of 1814, wl►ich ►was then highly appreciated by all. 'I•l;e second time he saw him was at a public festival, when he had the honour to have two personages on his right and )Eft, who were much esteemed in this country—he meat“ the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia. Ile (si r M. M axwe ll) svgs u,ct so o ported there by Court favour, or par tial affection, and in proof of this, he might be allowed to state the tact, that a gallant Admiral who had commanded in the battle of Trafalgar, had been to ti►osc hustings to give a plumper to his opponent. He then alluded to the manner in which the ttvo Candidates whose names were wir Written had beeu dis - posed of, and described " a cluObing, of colours" to have taken place.— A tti-coloured favour had thus been formed, which be trusted would share the fate they all. knew to have been that of the tri-coloured flag whenever it came in contact with the mihmjack of Old )r;t►gland. The flags which had been taken down Oil the opposite side of the way, l►ad been placed ti►ere by the booth-keepers, to sell their• liquors, be supposed. He hail had nothing to do with then►, though on the first day of the Election he haul truly told them that the Union Jack of England was his standard.. British hearts would glow with honest indignation when ever this should be desetted, and Englishmen be seen to rally roui►d the tri-coloured Ent those who hail marched under the Union Jack had been called by one of the speakers from ti►e Hustiogs a flock of geese. kVere they geese,' he would ask, - who marched under it with our Ed wards and Henrys to achieve the glories of Cres iy, Poictiers, and Agincourt ? Or did that cha racter belong to those who, in modern days, had battled for it, and pot to flight the steel-taloned eagles of Imperial France ? There were, how ever, men who worthd have them obliterate from their bosoms all recollections like these, and who would wish thetn to substitute for our Edwards mid Henries—for our Howes, Duncans, and Nel sods—the heroes of the blue, white, anti red, who had only distinguished themselves in Spa-fields and Palace-yard. It had been said that no man of character• would dare to offer• himself personally to the Electors of Westminster as a Candidate to tepresent them in Parliament. He had proved that he did not fear so to do, and he hoped men of character, independence, and loyalty, would . ever be ready to step forward in their caase. [The tumult was very high during the whole of this speech, and the interruptions occasioned b.' tote violence of the ilia) were numeroits: rSit i M. Almovv.u. was several times struck while speaklug, by various missiles that were thrown. Having concluded, Lie bowed, and retired with his friends.] Mr. BRUCE briefly addressed the populace, and claimed their attention for Mr. 1). Kornaird. Mr. D. KINNAIan congratulated the cro.vd 01t the state of the poll, which had proved to the gal lant Captain from China that he had not to can vass NlandArins of the East, but independent Bri tish Electors. He was proud that his name had been coupled with that- of Sir Francis Burdett, from the coiticidence of their seutiments on the subject of Reform; but it had beet brought for ward, as it had afterwards beet) withdrawn, evil h otit his knowledge, by the Committee, who in both instances had done what they thoh4lit was for Ow good of the people. At present he coo sideted nothing had been done. lie hoped to see Sir Francis five thousand votes a-he,::l on the poll, and he entreated Sir M. Maxwcil oot to re tire, that by the poll being kept open, they might have an opportunity of placing him in that proud sitwohni which lie ought to occupy. lie stroogly deprecated any coalition Sir S. Itotodly, and hoped t!,e electors would feel that the cause of Sir F. Itlrtlvit was as distinct from every other as black ,vas from it hi!e. Sir though it was p tintni to hint to oppose a brother officer, telt it his duty to op pose the . 11inislerial Candidate, Sir Murray. Max well, on the present occasion. lie had fltit to h e his dtry to come yesterday and vote for Sir Francis Minim and Sir Samuel Romitly, and he had done so hecaose the latter gentleman had been proved not only a philanthropist in theory, butt a practical friend to his fellow men. lit spoke at sortie length in praise of Sir S. Romilly, and concluded by calling on the electors tut pm site the object they had in view with unanimity and spirit. Mr. \VISHART,. in returning thanks for Sit s. Romilly, denied that his friends had wished hut any coalition with those of Sir F. Burdett: lie eulogized the character of Sir Salton], autd stated blur to be friendly to Reform and Triennial Par liament;. Mr. CLRARY now appealed before the Electors as a prophet. tie had predicted that it ['rand; would by that day fop the Niinisierial C.ndidate, and he Was confident lie would soon leave the other behind, as the Committee now applied themselves to procure his return alone. Ile then proceeded to comment on the pretensions of Sir M. Max well, and made the most unfounded asser►ions upon the subject. Mr. PITT again addressed the multitude in favour of Sir F. Burdett. Mr. IlvtoT next vented a tirade against Sir Sa muel Romilly during the time he sat in the Ca hinet—[" He never sat in the Cabinet," repeated in the crowd].—Well, he vas Solicitor- Crucial [" Go home, Hunt you ate a bad Cabinet makerl.—He %could remain firm at his post. it was not his practice cvcr to turn his back upon his enemies or his friends, or ever to fly from his cutouts—[sonic cheers, with'cries of off, off !") Mr. GZLE JONES th:11 Cattle forward, au a great proportion of the Mreting kit him speaking. CITY OF LONDON ELECTION. LAST D.Y. Yesterday being the last day Of this contest, at art early hour the City presented a scene of bn:tle t a rely witnessed. The roost indefatigable exer tions were used by the friends of Alderman Thorp, assisted by those of Alderman Wood and Waithinan, to advance the former on the poll, and thereby exclude Sir W. Curtis. This united ctiort proved successful ; and Alderman Thorp, at the final close of tl►e poll, at three o'clock, bad a ma jot ity of 11:3 over the worthy Baronet. FINAL STATE& OF Ti-11 2 . POLL. Woad ...... 5715 Thorp 4319 I 4846 Curtis Witithinan 4617 Mr. Alderman Woon said, it was not only a glorious day for the City of London, but for thee Country; it was, in tact, the most glotious day that was ever known to the people of Eugland— (Applause.)—There was no triumph whatever gained upon the personal feelings of those Candi dates who had been unsuccessful, for they no doubt had done their duty conscientiously, and as freeme n . Here h e could not but observe, that during his experience in Parliament, he found that the Worthy Gentlemen who bad this day lost their election had been most attentive to the local duties of their sir nation ; but lie lamented ex tremely to say, that he was very frequently left alone upon questions where the general interests of the people were concerned.—(Applause.)—He concluded by assuring; the Livery, that he should cherish the recollection of theit'kindness for ever. (Applause.) Mr. Wit..FoN said, it was impossible to) him to express the gratitude he felt for the distinguished lionourwhich, as a new candidate, had been con ferred upon him. He was. not the creature of Nlinisters ; but he trusted the Livery would not be offended with him, it at any time he gave his vole it) unison with his conscience, while he did it it) the best discretion of his judgment.—[Here much confusion ensued at the bottom of the Hall, and on turning round, it was discovered that the mob had actually drawn Alderman Wood's carriage from the street into the Hall, with a union jack flyirT, in front of it. ,They were, however, though with some difficulty, prevailed upon to retire with it.:l—He had only to say, that it would he the study of his life to consult the interests of his fellow Citizens.—(A pplause.) Mr. WAtrurdAN next appeared, and so univer sal were the acclamations, that several minutes elapsed before he could be heard. lie conAratu lilted the Livery upon the unprecedented success which had been obtained in the cause of Liberty . Hod Independence.--(Applause.)--lie had told them every day the state of the Poll, which every clay was steady and progressive ; but on the pre sent occasion, so great was the torrent of public feeling, that even the loyal and independent Livery hail beat the " G 'eat Goliah." Hither to the Livery of London had attempted to read lessons, but to-day they had heard lessons read to them. The Friends of Freedom knew their power, and they ought to assume-their proper arilude and etaratter, and not suff,r their right and privileges to be trampled on. In the history of City business there never had been such an election as the present—there never was such polling either on the single day, or taking it ge nerally. to this contest all was harmony, and it had been contested daunt-hoot with the greatest order and decorum. Even the' great body itself of the Livery had maintained their triumph, by consistency, regularity, and good order. Ile trusted, finally, that it in his situation in Parlia ment he gave a vote contrary to the feelings of his fellow-citizens, they would attribute it to an error in judgment, and not of the heart.—(Ap-; ',horse.) Mr. Alderman I THoRP said,' he was not only preNted to redeem the pledge he yesterday made as- to his confidence 01 final success, but also the promise that lie had tendered to the citizens of London, to support their rights and p'tivilegeS in Parliament.—Opplauses )—The worthy Alder man, in conclusion, entered into an explauation of the. plinciples by which he' said his conduct should be guid,d while he retained his seat in Pailiament, and thanked the Livery most cor dially for the distinguished honour they had con levied upon him. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS did rot come forward. The woo thy Baronet left the ";all shortly before the poll closed. The succes,fol Candidates were greeted with nine rounds it a pplause ; when they came out the horses were. token Iron) their cartiages. Alder man Wood and 'fliorp, and Mr. Waiihman, were drawn in procession to the house or the latter. Alderman Wood proceeded on to the West-end of the too n, and Alderman Thorp teturned back. In the carriage ut Mr Wailltnan there was, besides tie flags that -had been used during the election, a large union jack flying, as also in that of Al et.llll ill Wood. The flag statTs were decorated with laurel. concourse of spectators was be yond drscriptiou, but We are happy to say, that on the must minute inquiry, we were unable to find that any accident occurred. SUIMEY COUN'I Y MEETING. GUILDFORD. JUNE 23.—This morning, at eleven o'clock, the High Sheriff, with the u , nal attend ants, took his seat in the Hall, immediately after which every part of the building was filled with as many of the multitude of Freeholders, assent. bled trom all parts of the County, as could obtain admittance. lie Writ having been read, and the tr•oal forms passed through, Mr. TROTTER, after descanting on the general attention of their late Representative to the busi ness of the County and of his Constituents, con cluded a long address, by proposing Sum ner, Esq. as one of the :Representatives for the County of Surrey. Mr. PAL_MaR seconded the motion. Mr. HOBBERT never offered himself to public notice at a pet iod in whiob he felt more pooerfolly the importance of the crisis. That the people of this populous and respectable Cou n ty should ret tan men only of ability and strict integrity was more peculiarly important when they looked to the character of the late Parliament ; that Parii.-iment saw the termination of a contest, the most fearful that eser had been waged since the civilization of Europe. A contest out of which we had come breathless and exhausted, after efforts of constancy and valour, which eclipsed those of every antece dent period ; with a load of 800 millions of debt ; with a weight of taxes that had nearly extinguished that most valuable of all ranks, the middle class of society, and that diffused poverty in 'a sphere so extended, that the rates for the support of the poor in many instances exceeded the value of. the land. What had the late Parliament done ? It had attempted the revival of that most odious of all impositions, the property, or rather the in come tax ; and front the defeat of that . , project, to whom were: they indebted Not to the Parlia ment, but to themselves. The Freelioldets of this County, who, at the Meeting at Epsom, passel those strong and marked resolutions which had been so ably supported by the arguments of a Gentleman, who, by his talents and known lute grity of character, he conceived more abundantly (ratified for. the representation of this County, than any Gentleman within his knowledge'; he meant Mr. Denison, who with pleasure he could , not express, had at last yielded to the wislres of his numerous friends, in offering himself as a Candi date for the County. Mr. LADattoKe, in a concise address, enforced the arguments of the last speaker, and seconded his proposition. Mr. Somsiga addressed the meeting, stating, that he hadlolfilled every pledge that he•had giVeu from the first day of his nomination. Mr. DENISON, aster entering into an historical detail respecting former Elections for Surrey. said I eagetly embrace this occasion to declare, ' in the face of the County, my political grin , ciples to be founded in a steady adherence to the Constitution as established at the Re volution in 1688. And while 1 avow myself to he a•steady and loyal adherent to my Sovereign, I declare myself a rooted and avowed enemy to anrman or Minister who shall attempt to encroach upon the tights and liberties or subject. Re garding the relations of this kingdom as to fo reign politics, 1 ant the friend of .peace and con ciliation abroad—at home, of -economy and re form. Not that wild and theoretical reform, which would infallibly involve this country in anarchy and in ruin—but that moderate, rational, and practicable reform, Which will conduce to the benefit and the happiness of all classes of the State. And of the many objects of reform, I conceive the duration of Parliaments not amongst the least. I am decidedly of opinion, that their duration ought to he shortened, and that the expellee should be diminished so as to render the situation of a Re presentative of the People accessible to every gentleman of moderate fortunto—that the door miry he open to every respectable character worthy of politic confidence, and not confined to those only of Hextended possessiot4s—to the man of bumble pre tensions, as well as to the proudest. Gentlemen, against the wild-doctrines of reform and universal suffrage that have late y,_ been in some places so vehemently urged,.there is not a firmer or more decided opponent—for I feel an absolute convic tion, that if by any possibility we could suppose thin') to be ever carried into prAititie, (Le 6 7 11 I 1 must terminate hi the utter subvel•si".°,' right's, our liberties, our p r op er ty, our ltal'ine"-ri i in fine, Of our glorious Constitution. He r — d vder re eluded, by thanking them for the honour c upon him. Mr. Denison and Mr. Sumner were thcii in ves t ,f °1 " ed with the stvord and spurs, and the ce icuan ' cunclultd by their being chaired round t he lo' SUSS .X ELECTION . JUNE 23. In consequence of thenumination of Sir GOP: FREY WEBSTER, Bart. one of the late Rep re9el tatives for this County in Parliament, at 1i,. 4. County Court yesterday, a friend of Sir GovEl{6,, was immediately dispatched to the tlo nourom, Baronet at Battle, and it was represented to 01 that the majority of the Freeholders were aicit),u)fr to do justice to his Parliamentary conduct, Isl their decided support. Sir Go.,,rßEy WEBsIg lost no time in at ending to the communicati°,ll: Early this mottling, the Honourable Baronet rived, having travelled all night, and was tr r umphantly drawn into. the City.
